IIRC Chard has to pick up his canoe in Gravenhurst so he wouldn't be getting to the park until 10:30 or so. So basically, we can all head out together after Chard picks up his canoe or since he is soloing, the rest of us can leave earlier and meet him at camp. Since I have a 5 hour drive I'm not opposed to a later push off but if Jiblets and the others want to leave earlier, then that's fine with me as well.

If you want you can partner up with me in the tandem I have booked. From what I've heard, Tom Thompson and McIntosh can get quite windy and wavy later in the day which makes a solo ride more work. If no one wants to ride along with me I'm going to change my booking to a solo tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer! I've wanted to try a solo since I first saw the Shearwaters. (I'm in the market to buy) the weather looks promising for winds so I should fare OK on the lakes.

What time are we meeting up? At Canoe Lake?

I'm driving thru the park to get my canoe in Huntsville so I won't say no to Timmies...

Just a quick aside: I brought my canoe up to Swift Canoe in Gravenhurst for repairs last month and will be picking it up enroute. The only catch is that they open at 9am, so I wouldn't likely get to Canoe lake before 10:15-10:30. A little later than normal, but that's the way it goes.

Hey guys,

As Bubba mentioned, I won't likely get to Canoe lake before 10:15-10:30. If any of group want to head out earlier, feel free. I'd just recommend, for safety's sake, that no one goes off by themselves unless they're an experienced paddler.

Chenvre, given the late start, I'll probably just pass by the Huntsville Tim's and meet up at Canoe Lake. If you're there around 10am, look for a red and grey blur; that'll be me buzzing down Hwy 60 with my canoe on the roof.
